Set in the Swiss Alps, Grace La Margna St Moritz has opened its doors following a £82.7 million refurbishment which includes the addition of a new wing and the creation of a new £7.3 million spa. The project opened in August 2023.
The 74-room boutique hotel boasts impressive views of the mountains and a range of luxury accommodation. Fine-dining options are overseen by executive chef Andrea Bonini.
The 700sqm spa at Grace La Margna St Moritz is a haven of tranquillity overseen by assistant spa manager, Olympia Dimika. Designed by Nikolas Travasaros and Carole Topin, the space draws on nature from the surrounding Engadin mountains for its design cues creating a contemporary look throughout.
“Bringing the Engadin nature inside, these natural features embrace the connection we have with earth, transforming our spa into a sanctuary and infusing sense of peace and harmony,” says Dimika.
“With serene waters and majestic mountains as the guardians of this sanctuary, it has never been easier to rediscover the connection between mind and body.”

The software booking system is by TAC – The Assistant Company, and a Technogym-equipped fitness suite offers the same impressive lake views as the spa.
Harnessing the power of the Engadin mountains, treatments and spa journeys have been inspired by nature.
Working closely with its partners, including Bellefontaine, Bynacht, and La Biosthetique, the spa embraces ingredients from the Alps.
Skincare brand Bellefontaine has created a unique and revolutionary complex cultivated from the legendary edelweiss flower of Switzerland, to fight inflammation of skin tissues.
The extensive treatment menu includes body treatments, facials, massages, and full body scrubs.
A highlight are the nourishing body wraps by spa partner eponé and body treatments by Bellefontaine. The Detox Body Ritual by La Biosthetique blends sea salt with notes of cedar and moss to exfoliate the skin and improve circulation.
The Elixir of the Mountains treatment is a 150-minute escape and a pure moment of wellbeing together, a unique ritual allowing the guest to enjoy a unique Alpine experience.
A fragrant oil made from local herbs evokes memories of lush meadows and jagged mountain peaks. The aromatic blend features rosemary, juniper, peppermint, pine, and edelweiss.
This indulgent oil blends with an Alpine herbal liqueur, Genepi, known for its aromatic and medicinal properties.
